- I got "hooked" after my mom created flower beds in her yard
-My mom was my mentor, and boyfriend was my partner in creating the new flower bed!]]> 2017-08-17 15:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jdhandapani1/ob81ltdrq4o3/wish/181460528 https://padlet.com/jdhandapani1/ob81ltdrq4o3/wish/181460540 I was always intimidated by doing creative artistic hobbies.  My grandmother was an artist, and I felt that I did not inherit her talents.  I saw a painting that a close friend had done, and she enthusiastically told me about PaintNite and invited me to go to a class.  A few of us went, I did not have high expectations for myself.  I was surprisingly, very happy with the result and how relaxing it was.  It helped me adopt a growth mindset about art!  ]]> 2017-08-17 15:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jdhandapani1/ob81ltdrq4o3/wish/181460540 https://padlet.com/jdhandapani1/ob81ltdrq4o3/wish/181460546 At 4 and a half years old a wanted to learn how to ride a two-wheel bicycle.
